Must have knocked myself out because I don't know what happened. Bike was fine. I have more lovely road rash on my right wrist and right shoulder. Would have been a bad situation if I didn't have my helmet on.

If I don't ride them on a regular basis they find new homes...

My '54 Sports is such a great riding bike... is great for drizzly nights and bad roads as well as sunny afternoons.

Today I: Just got a CL offer to trade my bike for weed + 400$. Oh I pre-ordered Lucas Brunelle's Line of Sight DVD too.

Worked a lot, had a beer and short bike ride with a good friend that, like most of my friends, I don't see as often as I'd like. I then consumed some potato chips and a six-pack of Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy while watching cartoons. All in all, not a bad day. Downside, I haven't gone to bed yet, and I have to be at work in 5.5 hours.

Seriously?

hamfoh 06-15-12 09:05 AM

yeah. :( didn't wear gloves as usual (on longer rides) because thought overpadding would hurt. didn't take long to start sliding around and having to readjust my grip.

though my hands never missed the padding of gloves, just wish they handled sweat better.

You must have some greasy palms, son! I don't have that trouble at all.

If I were you I'd take it easy and be cautious of signs of a concussion
